Hi, guys!
Today I woke up completely drained of energy. It's as if I hadn't slept or rested all night. It's a terrible feeling, and I can't decide what to do about it. I have absolutely no strength. And now I don't know what to do. Should I go back to bed? But that's unlikely to lead to a proper rest. I've been trying over and over to get some sleep, but it's just not working. I know in my head that I should probably take the dogs for a really long walk, after which we'll be able to get a long, restorative nap, but I don't have the energy for that either. So I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do.
The workload keeps mounting, and it's difficult to keep up. I'm constantly trying to get as much done as possible, but in the end, I never get anything done. It's a vicious cycle. I'm trying really hard, and it seems to be producing some results, but so far they're not as good as I'd like. I'm currently having trouble building an audience for my blog because the advertising is working so terribly, and I can't figure out why. My husband says it's just some botched platform update. But I can't wait for them to fix it; my problems with the blog are now, not when they figure out their updates. Because of this stupid update, I'm already behind on my subscription plan this month, which means I'm unlikely to meet it next month either, and no giveaways will help. I'll start sliding backwards.
I need to work a little, shoot at least two videos, but my stomach hurts and I don't know how to get out of bed. But I have to do it because I need to keep creating content so I can count on continuing to work with publishers. Some deadlines are looming, and I want to sign at least two more contracts this month. I need as many publishers as possible to know about me so I don't miss out on promotional events. So I need to work hard and deliver good results. I usually write to the publisher after three videos featuring their books have been published. I'm aiming for a Readbury next, and now I need to rush through three of them and film some good footage.
So I'm swamped with work, and I also need to write a good content plan for all of this, because I've already got a ton of books, and I need to plan the order in which to read them. Because there are already more of them than I can read in any order. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed, but that's okay. I think everything will work out in the end.
Have a great day, everyone!
